The Standard Model includes the matter particles (quarks and leptons), the force carrying particles (bosons), and the Higgs boson. Credit: Artwork courtesy of Sandbox Studio,…
A cube of magnetic material levitates above a superconductor. The field of the magnet induces currents in the superconductor that generate an equal and opposite…
An MIT-led team simulated the behavior of protons and neutrons in several types of atomic nuclei, finding that the formulas describing how atoms behave in…
An illustration showing how highly nanostructured 3-D superconducting materials can be created based on DNA self-assembly. Credit: Brookhaven National Laboratory Complex 3D nanoscale architectures based…

A wheel-shaped muon detector is part of an ATLAS particle detector upgrade at CERN. A new study applies “unfolding,” or error-correction techniques used for particle…
This set of renderings shows the completed GRETA array (top and bottom left) and half of the completed array (right). The detector is designed to…
Argonne computational resources supported the largest comprehensive analysis of COVID-19 genome sequences in the U.S. and helped corroborate growing evidence of a protein mutation. Before…
The first neutron structure of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease enzyme revealed unexpected electrical charges in the amino acids cysteine (negative) and histidine (positive), providing key…
Nine seconds. An eternity in some scientific experiments; an unimaginably small amount in the grand scheme of the universe. And just long enough to confound…
Scientists at Stanford and SLAC redesigned current conductors — thin metal foils that distribute current to and from electrodes — to make lithium-ion batteries lighter,…
A composite image of the enzyme lactase showing how cryo-EM’s resolution has improved dramatically in recent years. Older images to the left, more recent to…
First-ever measurements provide evidence that extremely cold liquid water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature. Supercooled water…
SLAC scientists have invented a copper accelerator structure that could make future X-ray lasers and accelerators for radiation therapy more compact. It feeds terahertz radiation…
ORNL researchers developed a quantum, or squeezed, light approach for atomic force microscopy that enables measurement of signals otherwise buried by noise. Credit: Raphael Pooser,…
Schematic diagram showing both the magnetism and the conductive behavior on the surface of MnBi2Te4. The magnetism points uniformly upward, as shown by the red…
Crews at SLAC have taken the first 3,200-megapixel images with the complete focal plane of the LSST Camera, the future “eye” of Vera C. Rubin…
